Trade finance is
generally not very developed in Romania, at least by comparison with other EU
Member States and developed and emerging markets. Â In this briefing, we set out certain remarks

Disputes
in Romania are settled in court in the vast majority of cases, under
procedures regulated mainly by the new Civil Procedure Code (CPC). The
CPC entered into force on 15 February 2013, has carried out a systemic
and extensive overhaul of the Romanian dispute resolution model. With a
specific focus on acceleration of trial proceedings, the new regulation
has reformed both the schedule and the content of proceedings taking
place in various phases of the lawsuit, while attempting to clarify many
of the controversies raised by interpretable provisions in the former
regulation.
